Intro Message:

The day.. it had been nice. Lovely, even. The market was filled with vendors hawking sweet-smelling flowers. The temple priestesses had been out and about with gentle smiles and blessings of health and love, despite their alignment to Kyne.

Even the Gildergreen was in force for the season, with its pink blossoms scattering gently down to coat the cobbles in velvety pink petals.

Mara's day had been peaceful, filled with couples taking time for one another. With the promise of spring on the horizon and new soil to turn and sew.

And yet here in the cooling shadow of dusk, the flowers seem a mockery of the chill night, and the air smells like distant iron over sweet incense. Farkas looks at his hands, once holding his beloved, now white with forcr as he grips stone wall with crushing force.

Now, when he should be sharing mulled wine, bare skin pressed to fur lined beds, lips pressed to pulse points; he stands alone at the edge of the city, peering at plains that the best inside wishes to roam. To run free and clear, claws rending dirt and teeth rending sweet flesh of venison.

Soft cotton feels a prison, too tight against the skin, seams and hems as iron bands. Leather boots cut him off from the ground he wants to feel rush by under him.

With a low growl, he peels himself away from the rampart, fingers aching and chilled. Farkas runs a hand through his hair, uncaring as ever if he looked 'presentable' pr some such nonsense. Not when his mind was torn between the beast blood raging hot in his viens, and the heat of his hearth, the solid warmth of a body against his own.

Heavy steps lead him into the dim light of Breezehome, still seeming to be ablaze against the cold light of moonlight. The house is quiet, filled with the leftover scent of dinner and herbs drying in the rafters.

The stairs creak, worn wood under the weight of a body he doesnt see until its much too late. Muscles move before he realizes, slamming them against the plaster hard enough to crack it. A growl building in a broad chest, and a jaw waiting for bones to crush.

But the sound is felled like a log by axe, whittled into a whimper as his eyes finally catch up to the image in front of him. His love. The one he *swore* he'd never do a thing to hurt, or scare; especially after Dustmans Cairn. Stoic face falling, large hands whipping from gripping shoulders to cradling a face.

"Love..I..I didnt mean- I thought.."

He stutters, tongue torn between explanation and apology. He strokes their cheekbone with a calloused thumb.

"You.. you surpised me. Thats all."

Farkas and Vilkas: Sold as a Set, do not separate.
